The Women of the Western Communities (formerly the Wellington Women’s Club) announces its first meeting of the 2011-12 season, Thursday, September 1, 6:30 p.m., at the new MarBar Grille at Madison Green Golf Club, 2001 Crestwood Boulevard North, Royal Palm Beach.
Started in 1977 as the Welcome Wagon for new residents of the area, the group became the Wellington Women’s Club in 1983 and has served the community since that time in many ways. A social philanthropic organization of women helping women, the club supports two major causes: the Mary Rubloff YWCA Harmony House, a secure shelter for abused women and their children, and college scholarships for area high school seniors.
But the name is not the only thing about the club that is changing. “We want to be more inclusive of the entire area and encourage women from Royal Palm Beach, Loxahatchee, The Acreage, and western Lake Worth to join us,” said Co-President Stacy Kaufman. This year, instead of formal dinner meetings the first Thursday of every month from September through June, the group will have fewer regular meetings with several optional outings to such venues as theaters, casinos, restaurants and movies.
The new format will allow the annual dues to be lowered to $195 with various payment options available. According to Co-President Laurie Piel, “We hope to make membership in the WWC affordable so more women can become involved in this great club.”
